Biography
Hakam Fawaz was born in 1973 in Mosul, Iraq to a family of Sunni Arabs. He joined Ansar al-Islam on its formation in 2001, and Fawaz commanded a force of Iraqi insurgents in an occupation of the village of Sinjar in Iraqi Kurdistan in northern Iraq. United States satellite imagery found out that the insurgents dug in, so they launched "Operation Kennesaw Storm" to evict them. Fawaz was victorious over the Americans, with the Iraqi insurgents repelling their attack.
